Mlodzinski terrible again as a starter.
He was a serviceable starter (Bucs were 8-3 in his starts) and his era was 3.76 but dropping as he was pitching better. When they shifted him to the bullpen he was pitching as well as anyone on the staff and, IMHO, Keller should have gone to the pen to work out his problems but management wouldn't do that due to the contract they signed him to.

True all that.


Would Mlodzinski have "kept it up"? Who knows
Did Mlodzinski more or less crater after being moved to the pen? He pitched well enough in the pen, but who knows what his mental state has been - we know he got very "pouty" when he was taken out of the rotation the first time.
